Dennis Turner gave me a new life. I have essential tremors and could no longer live a productive life because of them. I had DBS four months ago and feel like Dr. Manette in "A Tale of Two Cities." No higher accolade can be given to a doctor than the grateful appreciation of a patient for saving, even giving nrew life. Dennis Turner of the magic fingers, I salute you!

He reviewed my MRI and told me he could relieve my referred pain down my legs. He went over what was wrong with me in details what was wrong with me and what he would do to correct it. He did my surgery and fixed what he said he would do ( laminectomy on L43, L5 and L3 also after finding problems there) . My pain after 2 weeks is completely gone from my legs and my hips. Even my lower back pain is much better even though he told me before surgery he could not fix that. I have seen at least a dozen surgeons in the past 25+ years with MRI's, CT scans, mylergrams and no surgeon would offer to try to fix my problems. Two did offer to fuse my back which I declined. I truly have had a miracle. This Doctor is smart, friendly, and very experienced. His resume is exceptional and he is also.

My back surgery For tethered cord did not help,but only made it worse. I'm not sure if it was his fault or not however, his treatment of me after the surgery was rude and arrogant. I can not recommend him.
